Map a variable to a reference field

Several of the activity templates contain reference fields in the
Inputs tab that require a sys_id to function
properly.

Before you begin

Roles required: activity_admin, activity_creator, admin

About this task

Examples of these fields are the Web Service message field
in the REST template and the MID Server script include field
in the JavaScript Probe template.

Procedure

Select a value using the lookup icon in the field.

The system populates the field with the appropriate sys_id.

Drag a variable from the variable builder and drop it into a reference
field.

The system populates the field with an empty variable string, such as
${activityInput.Amazon}, and not the sys_id.

Note: The activity cannot run correctly unless you manually assign the
appropriate sys_id as the variable value. The best practice is to always
select your reference values from the list populated from the lookup
icon.
